Alfred Ernest BOND married my great grand aunt, Jessie Ann BEATON (daughter of James BEATON and Sarah Ann BATTEN McLEAN BEATON) on 2 May 1898 in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada. Witnesses were my great grandparents Archibald McLEAN (Jessie's half brother) and Bertha SPARKS McLEAN. Alfred was born C 1872 to Silas and Julia BOND in England - probably London. Alfred and Jessie had two children of their own, and raised Jessie's niece, Jessie Eveline KIRK (later known as Evelyn BOND, daughter of Isabella McLEAN KIRK and John KIRK (Isabella was Archie's sister, and died right after Jessie Eveline was born 25 April 1897)). Alice Bond BOND was born 25 Aug 1898 in Bruce County, Ontario. Earnest Randolph BOND was born 20 April 1900 in Bruce Cty, Ontario. Sometime after the 1911 census, but before 9 April 1918, when James BEATON died, the family moved from Kincardine to Hamilton, Wentworth Cty, Ontario. I believe both Evelyn (Jessie Eveline) and Alice remained unmarried given their names in the cemetery listings (Woodland Cemetery Flamborough East) - they are still listed as surnamed BOND. Earnest, however, appears to have married Helen I. Perhaps they had children? I'm looking for descendants, or anyone who knows these people. I have pictures of what may be Earnest, Alice, Eveline, and Jessie. I'm hoping someone can confirm that.
